With 62 different floors to choose from, the Essentials is the quintessential collection for everyone who likes ample variety and consistent quality.
A happy home for kids & pets
Our floors are 100% waterproof, child and pet friendly, so you don’t need to worry about awkward accidents, clumsy spills or muddy paws. If your little ones or four-legged friends do make a mess, simply clean it with our Coretec® Care Kit and your floor will look like new again.
Lifelike wood look
Trust us: your Essentials floor will easily become the eye-catcher of your room. Thanks to Embossed in Register (EIR) technology applied to selected floors, the planks are indistinguishable from real wood. The result: a range of attractive, stylish designs with natural textures that will never cease to amaze you.
What is my Essentials floor made of?
All our Essentials floors are 8 to 8.50 mm thick and composed of 5 distinct layers:
- High performance wear layer: Three protective (0.55 mm) layers for wear-resistance
- Decor film: Indistinguishable from real wood or stone
- Comfort layer: Warm & quiet underfoot
- Sound Core®: Core with excellent sound reduction
- Attached cork underlayment: The most sustainable solution

Our floors are designed for simplicity. Thanks to the integrated click system, you can install Coretec® on any surface without glue, nails or additional subflooring. There’s no need for sanding, polishing, sealing or varnishing. Plus, our floors don’t require acclimatisation or a post-installation waiting period, so you can install and start living on your new floor the same day.
